Rhubarb Cake

This time of year I am always looking for different things to make with the abundance of rhubarb from my garden. I tried a rhubarb cake that I adapted from The Rhubarb Compendium. The site is pretty great and has tons of different recipes.

Ingredients

2 cups Rhubarb cut into chunks
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup Earth Balance
1 cup applesauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups GF flour

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cream sugars and Earth Balance. Add egg, salt and mix. Stir in applesauce, baking soda, vanilla, and flour. Add rhubarb. Pour into a greased 9x13 baking pan. Mix 1/4 cup white sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon and sprinkle over the top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes.

I topped the cake with whipped Richwhip and peaches, but any ripe fruit would go well with it. The cake is very moist and doesn’t need an addition topping but who doesn’t love some whipped cream?!
